The tax evader did that as a private man, the club's been remarkably clean of that kind of behavior (though it wouldn'T surprise me if it did), especially compared to some other clubs they're competing with. Also, as opposed to others guilty of similar crimes, he served his sentence so his debt to society is paid according to civilised justice systems.
I didn't run an ethics check when i picked "my" team. I was 10 and they played amazing football at the time. I'm happy that, *when* i did check, they came out comparativly clean, even during the evil empires 12 year stint. And i'm proud that the central core of the supporter base lives up to that legacy.
Which club do you support btw? Lets see if it can survive the scrutiny.
